Please explain the  rhyme scheme of the poem 'The Education of Nature' by William Wordsworth?

William Wordsworth was one of the great English Romantic poets unlike the neo-classical poets that preceeded his era. Many of his poems had an almost lyrical quality and some could be defined as lyrics, such as I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils).

The Education of Nature is lyrical  in character with a rhyme scheme that matches a (ababbcc)rhyme. In other words

Three years she grew in sun and shower     a

She shall be mine, and I will make                 c

A lady of my own                                        b

 "And vital feelings of delight
Shall rear her form to stately height,
